Schools in Zip Code 84078

ZIP code 84078 has 11 schools serving students from kindergarten through grade 12, including six elementary schools, two middle schools, two high schools, and one alternative school; the area also includes an online school. Most are part of Uintah District, which ranks in the upper third of Utah districts. Together, the schools report about 6,652 enrolled students, although that total is the sum of school enrollments rather than a count of unique students.

Maeser School is the strongest overall performer, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide with a five-star rating. It leads the area in several subjects, including 82.1% proficiency in Grade 3 math. Discovery School is another strong elementary option, ranking in the 80th percentile and performing well in math, science, and ELA. Among middle schools, Vernal Middle ranks higher than Uintah Middle School, particularly in math. However, Uintah Middle has comparatively strong science results and has improved its statewide ranking. Uintah High ranks in the 67th percentile, has an 89.3% graduation rate, and showed major Grade 10 gains in math and science.

The most widespread concern is attendance: every school with reported data exceeds Utah’s 23.8% chronic absenteeism rate. Rates range from 31.6% at Uintah High to 68.3% at Naples School and 81.1% at Ashley Valley Educ. Center. Ashley School has the lowest traditional elementary ranking, while Terra Academy reports highly uneven results by grade. Uintah Online School has only 37 students, so its results should be interpreted cautiously. Overall, families will find the strongest academic records at Maeser and Discovery, solid secondary options at Vernal Middle and Uintah High, and important attendance and math-support needs elsewhere.
